The rest of your hair is going to go to Patriots for wigs.

General Washington needed the help of the people of Valley Forge. His men were hungry, cold, and getting sick. Abigail, her mom, and her sisters Sally and Elisabeth cleaned their shirts and made coats for them.

Come on troops lets move out.

When the girls delivered the clean shirts they got to meet Mrs. Washington. She was very nice to the girls. She even saved them a piece of Mr. Washington's birthday cake. This is when the girls became friends with her and she eventually she invites them to go visit the soldiers and help her deliver food, blankets, and clothes to the headquarters.
